ginnyinWI's JournalFosters at seven weeks
My "T" fosters, Tess, Trisha and Tyler playing in the sun yesterday. They are all there--a bit hard to see in the glare: (the hawk feather is a gift from my pet sitter to my cats--we are suburban and she finds them while walking her dogs.)
They are still underweight due to their URI's. We are working on fattening them up! They seem to be feeling a little better and playing more. I used to sometimes have kittens in my laundry room on the north side of the house, but this is an upstairs room on the south side and gets the sun. I was using it only for older kittens or large litters or those who needed quarantine but I'm going to use it for all of them from here on out. It's so much nicer for them. There are plans this year to take out that carpet and put in a vinyl floor in this room when we redo the upstairs carpeting and that will be much more practical. So I don't care much what they do to this carpeting!
Finally got me some new fosters!
There haven't been a lot of kittens at my shelter this summer, and I haven't had any since I turned the last litter in at the beginning of June. These three would be summer kittens, from the second kitten wave, born around the end of August. One black one and two Tuxies turned in as strays:
They are Tyler, Tess and Trisha. We've done ear mite treatment with Revolution, and they've had their first distemper and deworming. A few sneezies and watery eyes, but nothing serious. It does make them a bit picky about eating so I have to sit with them and keep them at it. They are around six weeks old, maybe six and a half by now. Tyler, the one male (with pink nose), has an injured tail, not sure how that happened. The fur was off it in the middle and it looked scabby and thickened, but the fur is starting to growing back now so it should be fine.
